Then the drama begun. Pawel FERTIKOWSKI beat TAN Rui Wu in full distance match, for 2:1 for hosts. Asked, was she afraid at that point manager Alexandra YASINOVSKAYA said: “We were not afraid but, yes, at that point there were chances we might lose.”

But HOU Yiagchao was on the top of the game. He beat Daniel GÓRAK to level the score once again. “Our coach manage to make Hou play with tact and heart,” said Alexandra YASINOVSKAYA.

At the decisive match Grigory VLASOV showed class and overcame Robert FLORAS in four games. “We are very happy for him. He played in good shape.”

Now most of the pressure is on Polish club, but still there is a long way for both teams.“We are at half way point. This match will not be easy for anyone,” said Alexandra YASINOVSKAYA.
